Milestone post

Yet another self peethal post. 

For last 2 years, this blog was clocking 100K hits per year, which was possibly the highest it has ever encountered since inception. But intha varusham ennadaanna it has reached 250K hits already with last month alone clocking 100K hits!!! Ithanaikum my frequency of posting has a huge variance though i try to maintain the monthly average. Post podrapo hits kuraiyuthu aana podathapo neria varuthu!!! Enna thaanpa sollavareenga. Whatever the reason is, i was thrilled to see the hit counter turning yet another first digit and thanks for all the visits. 

Ithu athanaiyum moola karanam, the one and only reason and person is undoubtably and absolutely Mr.thalai Ramesh. Thank you for your words of encouragement and as i keep mentioning unga comments padikarathukagavay edachum oru post podanumnu thonum. And possibly the viewers think the same as well as unga comments vanthaprum thaan hits rise after each post. Ungal aadharaviruku nandri. And ditto for others who post their feedback as well.

Congraaaaattttuuulllaations Gilsu. A quarter a million hits in 9 months. Wow. That is some achievement. Well done. We are honoured to be your blog followers.

Well I can easily explain why you are getting more hits on the days when you don't post. (1) All of us are checking multiple times to see if the master has posted. (2) And every film/serial maker is checking many times as to whether the most important review has come out or not.

Seriously, your running this blog for a long time and the ascendancy of the hits is a huge credit to you. Bravo.

Ode to the Nice Guys

This is a tribute to the nice guys. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are, while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores. This is in honor of the guys that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support. This is in honor of the guys with open minds, with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern. This is in honor of the guys who respect a girl's every facet, from her privacy to her theology to her clothing style. This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from parties and never take advantage once they...

Padithathil pidithathu

Few authors thrill us to read more of their creations. At times its sheer luck that we might end up with the worse of their lot and might give up on them only to find many other good ones which we would've ignored based on first impression. James Rollins is one such author. My friend's sister introduced me to "Map of Bones" and told me that its in the same genre of "Davinci Code" and since i am a sucker for adventure series she recommended this one to me, with a warning that, at times this guy goes over the board like Ludlum in describing situations. With that warning in mind i began the book. I took my own sweet time to finish it but the book kept me interested. However many times i kept it down i always went for it again to know what happened next. In the end, i pretty much liked the story, though it was totally unbelievable. The story is about the bones of the Three wise men or Magi who visited Jesus when he was a kid. Their bones held a clue to a vast so...

Hearbeat - season 2 - review

What makes a drama series tick, in OTT, that too in Tamil? The question should've been pretty straight forward and not as difficult as it is for making a successful movie, for drama series are dime a dozen across scores of TV channels and none of them are found wanting for audience. The more the cry the merrier the TRP. In that context, the only challenge that OTT platforms might've had while streaming tamil series must've been to choose the path - either the well trodden and worn out cryathons aligning with Satellite channels or try for something genre specific like how they do across English and other foreign languages. This is where Heartbeat series in Hotstar finds the fine balance between being a soap oppaari (no pun intended) in tv and carving a niche OTT audience.  While the setup might've been familiar one for Hindi audience with so many series happening on hospital based storyline, i guess this is a first for tamil. The first season was more on establishing the...
